Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want
by Dave AspreyWorld-renowned biohacker and bestselling author Dave Asprey reveals how to maximize your well-being with the minimum effort, by taking control of your body’s operating systemIf you want to lose weight, boost your energy, or sharpen your mind, there are shelves of books offering myriad styles of advice. If you want to build up your strength and cardio fitness, there are plenty of gyms and trainers ready to offer you their guidance. What all of these resources have in common is they offer you a bad deal: a lot of effort for a little payoff. Dave Asprey has found a better way.In Smarter Not Harder, the proven master of biohacking exposes the surprising secrets of your body’s operating system, or its “MeatOS.” That system is naturally designed to be lazy, which is why sweaty exercise routines and rigid diets produce such limited effects. Dave shows us how to hack the MeatOS and make it do what we want it to do, turning it from obstacle into ally. The key to achieving optimum wellness, he reveals, isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing less—exercising and eating smarter, not harder, and making the body’s built in laziness work for you.Smarter Not Harder is not a diet nor a fitness plan. It is a system of targeted biohacks aimed at upgrading your metabolic, neurological, and epigenetic systems. Packed with practical, accessible information on better eating; smart workouts that give you more strength and energy in less time; and strategic therapies to reduce stress and boost resilience—Smarter Not Harder will show you how to achieve lasting health in less time.

Smiling Again: Coming Back to Life and Faith After Brain Surgery
by Sally StapThe &“poignant account of one woman&’s struggle for health and faith—and the tireless devotion of family&” in the face of a devastating illness (Peter DeHaan, PhD). Sally Stap was living a happy life with a successful career, juggling the usual concerns about job, daughters, and everyday obligations. But her world was shattered when she was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma—a benign but large brain tumor that would require a major invasive operation to remove. Smiling Again is a story of perseverance and appreciating the beauty of life in spite of pain. Writing with a poignant blend of honesty, dry humor, faith, and inquisitiveness, Sally recounts the shock of diagnosis, the long and painful process of recovery, her eventual retirement due to disability, and ultimately the contentment she found in accepting a new life journey. No matter what trials you may face, Sally&’s experience teaches us that even when the worst happens, God is still present and visible—sometimes in unexpected ways. Your future self may be different from who you were before, but those changes can lead you in new and rewarding directions.

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory
by Caitlin DoughtyMost people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty--a twenty-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre--took a job at a crematory, turning morbid curiosity into her life's work. Thrown into a profession of gallows humor and vivid characters (both living and very dead), Caitlin learned to navigate the secretive culture of those who care for the deceased. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes tells an unusual coming-of-age story full of bizarre encounters and unforgettable scenes. Caring for dead bodies of every color, shape, and affliction, Caitlin soon becomes an intrepid explorer in the world of the dead. She describes how she swept ashes from the machines (and sometimes onto her clothes) and reveals the strange history of cremation and undertaking, marveling at bizarre and wonderful funeral practices from different cultures. Her eye-opening, candid, and often hilarious story is like going on a journey with your bravest friend to the cemetery at midnight. She demystifies death, leading us behind the black curtain of her unique profession. And she answers questions you didn't know you had: Can you catch a disease from a corpse? How many dead bodies can you fit in a Dodge van? What exactly does a flaming skull look like?Honest and heartfelt, self-deprecating and ironic, Caitlin's engaging style makes this otherwise taboo topic both approachable and engrossing. Now a licensed mortician with an alternative funeral practice, Caitlin argues that our fear of dying warps our culture and society, and she calls for better ways of dealing with death (and our dead).

Smoking-Related Health Issues: A Teen's Guide To Smoking-related Health Issues (Young Adult's Guide to the Science of He #15)
by Joan EsherickOne in three adolescents who experiment with tobacco products will end up addicted to nicotine by the time he is twenty years old. If current trends continue, some five million kids who are currently under eighteen years of age will die one day because they chose to smoke cigarettes as adolescents. Smoking kills. Kids know that, yet every day in the United States, nearly 3,000 young people become new tobacco users. Why? This book addresses this question as it examines reasons teens smoke, the consequences of tobacco use, and the sometimes ugly facts about smoking, chewing, and sniffing. Sidebars, easy-to-understand statistics, and real-life case studies make this an informative, interesting read for teens who want to make an informed decision about using tobacco products.
Smoking: A Risky Business

Smoking: The Artificial Passion
by David KroghSmoking is full of intriguing paradoxes. How can the same cigarette be relaxing now and a quick pick-me-up later? Why do smokers call on the same substance to help them concentrate one moment and tune out the next? And, the most sobering paradox of all: in the face of overwhelming medical evidence, what compels millions of people (including one out of every four Americans) to ignore the harmful consequences and continue smoking? Author David Krogh provides some fascinating and surprising answers in this unusual probe of the deep roots of smoking. As Krogh demonstrates, smoking is a complex, subtle, multifaceted habit. Drawing on the vast body of literature on the subject, he offers a lively and informative explanation of what scientists and doctors know- about the passion for tobacco--how it affects the body, how it is influenced by genetics, personality, and societal forces, and what it can tell us about other, more notorious forms of addiction. Neither a gloomy medical lecture nor another trendy how-to-quit guide (although some tips can be found in the appendix), SMOKING: The Artificial Passion is witty, feisty, and provocative. For smokers, ex- smokers, smokers trying to quit, nonsmokers, or anyone captivated by the quirkiness of human behavior, it offers a better understanding of the motivations behind smoking and, in a broader context, drug use of any kind. The artificial passion--this metaphor for smoking and other forms of tobacco addiction comes from John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States. While a young man, Adams successfully freed himself from the habits of smoking and chewing tobacco. Referring to that effort, he once wrote, "I have often wished that every individual. . . afflicted with this artificial passion could force it upon himself to try but for three months the experiment which I made, sure that it would turn every acre of tobacco land into a wheat field, and add five years to the average of human life."
